Dark Poetry

About the Book

In this book, you will find that I have had a hard life. When I was 15, I started writing poetry, and what you see here is the outcome. I used my emotions as the origin and casted it onto paper. You may learn about my life just by reading this book. It’s mostly about depression and anxiety, including suicide. This does not promote suicide. It can be inspirational, mood changing, or even heart-wrenching. You may relate to this as you relate to music.

I have actually felt this way, and it was not a favorable memory. The origins of my crippling depression consist of mostly hard breakups. I also suffer with anxiety. I overthink a lot. And i sometimes think myself into depression. I have spent a total of 12 days in mental hospitals, 6 days in each. It wasn’t that bad of an experience, as i met some great people there.
